Im trying to get my head around highschool in the states. How many periods do you get in a given day and how many classes per period? Is it the same amount of periods for every high school in USA?

I'm not so sure about the other highschools, but I just graduated last year, and there were 7 periods a day.

My high school district is different, though there are others like it. We have four classes a day for about an hour and a half each. Then after a semester we change to four new classes. That way we get a total of 8 classes in one school year. Other high schools have about 6 periods usually and they're for the whole school year. A period is the same as a class basically. You might have English 1st period. 1st period is your 1st class. Hope that made sense... xD

most of the time there are 6. some people have 7 periods. my school has 8 for some gawdawful reason but one is just an entire hour for lunch so technically it's only 7 learning periods. no there are not the same amount of periods for every high school in the u.s.a and one period equals one class. class is simultaneous with period. there are several periods through a day. two quarters in each semester and two semesters. not too many high schools are year round either but there are a few.

Generally schools in the states have between 6-8 periods each lasting 45-60 minutes. Many schools also have an optional 0 or A period to get another class in for some people who need then, though this is generally optional. I believe, but am not positive, that most public high schools in the states follow this.

It varies according to the school. Me, I get eight school periods per day, but that's just my school. Some schools have more or less periods per day, or even have block schedules that make it so that each day has different classes and a different number of class periods. For example, say my school had an ABC block schedule. On an A day, which is usually monday, could have 6 periods with different classes unique to A day. On B day, I could have 8 periods with different classes unique to B day, ect. It's a little hard to wrap your head around until you actually have a block schedule for a few days. Hope I helped!

My school is totally different from everyone else's. We have five periods (which is the same as a class) a day, each exactly an hour long. We have a longer day though, six and a half hours. Hope this helps!

it really depends on the school you go to. my school has a 7 periods, but 4th period is split into two parts with there being a 4A period and a 4B period. if you have a 4A lunch you'll have a 4B class, or the other way around, so you really get 7 full class periods throughout the day with lunch. 1 class per period. and they are about 45 minutes long.
